By "words" I assume you mean "text." This is a photo .pdf? To move from a photo into text you need to have OCR (Optical Character Recognition) software, and it would need to be calibrated to your language.

JT is right. You will need to use OCR software that is capable of recognizing Amharic. The OCR software I have (ABBYY) does not have Amharic listed as one of the languages it recognizes, so I can't help you.

Wow! This is really my best gift for this year the precious sister I have missed a lot for years has responded to my post. Dear Rosie when I think about Logos Forum I can’t forget what you have not only help me ,but you have taught me a lot and I am so grateful for that. So do I appreciate what dear Alabama does as well when I need help he is the one who respnds and helps me among others who have shown the Logos Forum to be a place where most of us get our help.

Tes, to be honest, one of the reasons I stepped back to less involvement in the forums is the pressure towards online community forming that happens here. It was negatively impacting my real-life relationships. I cannot be a friend to you here. I'm sorry about that. I'm glad it's become a community of friends for you, but it can't be that for me. I get sucked back into online addictions so easily, and when I read language like what you used there, I pull back again.

Dear Rosie, I would like to thank you again. I have understood you.I can remember even you were online until late in the morning. As you might know I have different mentality and limited knowledge of the English language. I have expressed it as sister not a friend and that means according to me Sister in the Lord Jesus Christ.perhaps if my post has offended you and has a different meaning as I have intended to Please forgive me.

Not necessarily...she did mention “online addictions” which can actually be serious, but that you wouldn’t understand if you‘ve never experienced it. Thank her for her contributions and pray for her.

I’ve known some individuals that they talk about their online friends as if they were actual relationships in their lives, even if they’ve never met in person. Some even have a “Best Friend” who resides on Facebook and that can affect your “real day-to-day life.”

Personally, I keep the forum community as a place to get answers for the software, though sometimes I’ve allowed myself to get dragged into arguments just for the fun of it, but realized it did impact some forumites negatively, so I try to keep away from that. 👍😁👌

Thanks for the explanation. No "best friends" online, but I do get addicted to the lure of information and knowledge, the never-ending rabbit trails one can disappear down while researching something interesting on the web, even if it seems to be in the service of a good cause. I dislike being cajoled by well-meaning members of the forums into spending more time on here. I perceive some of certain people's overtures towards me (just trying to be friendly) as "please spend more time here; we miss you." I had a knee-jerk reaction against that. Because for my physical health and sanity, I need to spend less time online.

So, again, apologies if I've offended anyone, especially Tes who really tries his best to make friends with so many people on the forums through his thread "We have become friends..." which he keeps bumping to get more people to notice it. I just don't want to be appreciated that much by him. It makes me feel uncomfortable. I want to be easily in and out of here once and a while, and not feel compelled (by pride) to go overboard providing help as I've done in the past. All the kudos, and congratulations for passing milestones of numbers of posts, etc., were part of my downfall in the past. Can't. Let. It. Happen. Again.

Well, it is embarrassing. I haven’t thought that I have offended to someone upto this extent.Anyway eventhough it is not enjoyable there is a lesson which I can learn from it . If others have the same feeling about me I am just ready to quit asking and posting on the forum.

I can speak only for myself. I'll admit that there are a few people, yourself included Tes, who I wait a bit to see if others answer. Why? because I know that there will be followup questions that I may or may not be around to answer. The followup questions are usually necessary because I was too terse in my answer or I misjudged what the OP already knows. Rosie is beloved precisely because she is not too terse and she is very good at judging what the OP already knows. If you watch the forums, you'll see most of the MVP move in and out in how much they are involved. You need to expect that. But also understand, we all care that your questions are answered, that you keep learning new ways to use Logos. It would be a genuine loss, Tes, if you felt unwelcome. Your questions matter. As for the social relationship, people who have the time or the desire should have them .... just know some are not interested.

And, yes, I have made a couple of friends through the forums where we moved the friendship off the forums and into the real world.

I hope you don't overreact. It's just me, not a general feeling from others. And it's not because you've done anything wrong. It's just what I personally am going through regarding spending too much time online. I can't go into more details as I need to stop interacting personally on this thread. See, I'm up late again which is bad for my health. Getting involved in interpersonal drama is my downfall. So if I'm retreating, it's about me, not you. Don't worry, Tes, folks here appreciate you.

Thank you Rosie for the clarification. May God heal you from the pain and sickness you are passing through.
